Up and Down the Stairs

We’ve only been here a few days, and we’re already stuck in the basement for an evening. There was a big hailstorm tonight, and with the huge windows my Grandma always loved, being upstairs was not an option. So we brought a TV downstairs along with the girls’ sofas and spent the evening playing in the basement.

And Adam and I spent a lot of that time just going up and down the stairs. Going up to look out the windows. Coming back down. Going up to check the weather radio. Coming back down. Going up to get something for snack. Coming back down.

 

Unfortunately, all the trips up and down the stairs caused the newly installed gate at the top of the stairs to pull out of the wall. We’ll need to put it back in with wall anchors. I guess it’s good that it happened this way and didn’t pull out from the walls because the girls were being too rough near it. But it’s still just one more thing to work on.

I really hope this is our last big storm of the summer. I’m glad we have a good finished basement to stay in while the storms pass, though. And the girls didn’t complain, which is a double bonus. Or maybe triple bonus? It’s that nice.
